Burlington, ON – (June 24, 2013) –The Boston Pizza-presented Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour (MJT) held the MJT Prodigy Series at the well-manicured Hidden Lake Golf Club in Burlington, Ontario, this past weekend, where 80 junior golfers teed it up. The two-day tournament also featured qualifying for MJT Team Canada to the SRIXON International Junior Classic in Australia, this October, with Madison Easterbrook of Burlington winning a spot. Other winners will be announced once all qualifiers across the country have completed.
“Hot and humid weather finally arrived in Ontario,” said Tournament Director and PGA of Canada Professional, Mike Skimson. “The course was in fantastic shape, but there was a huge premium on hitting fairways and greens this week as the wet spring has led to dense and think rough.” Christopher Wilson, 18, of Toronto, ON, shot 70-74 (144) and claimed the Low Overall and MJT Junior Boys 17-19 gold medal. “I made a double bogey coming down the stretch, but birdied number 17,” said Wilson. “It feels great to win as my division is filled with talented players so I am happy to come out on top.” Finishing second in the division to claim the silver medal was Adam Graham, 17, of Sarnia, ON, who carded 74-75 (149), while there was a tie for third place at 150 total score between Colton Clemmer, 19, of Ayr, ON, (76-74) and Osama Khan, 17, of Mississauga, ON (72-78).
